The best part? NO MORE DOTS!

And finally some camo on the body too!






Changed the front a little, more green and added some brown.

My inspiration for the camo:



It ended up being a mix of these two, pattern-wise more like the lower one but not such a hard edge.

The makeover is fantastic. What a difference a paint job can make!

I wanted to work on the wood block



More grain in the wood


I re-blued the metal bands, the one on the right is 'after'

[Marco Peter]

I chose tho minimalise the markings, especially since I am not re-creating an excisting tank. I chose this 'Panzer Lehr' marking because I like the bright yellow color, I like the position, and it is kind of how the markings on the Munster Panzermuseum Panther are.




Unweathered


With some more shading (all over the place) done with the airbrush using panzergrau

It's really coming together!

New set of tracks!

On the far right very, very nice spare tracks. See this topic for details on those and an extensive guide ho I weathered those:

I LOVE how these turned out, but... the track hangers are wider than these track-openings!

So I thinned the lower part down





Fits!

Nooooooo your tank was one of my inspirations hahaha!


Edit: If it was not you who painted it: definitely redo it. It will will truly make it yours then.

I do not really like the detailing on this. But it's what i have to work with.

Any idea what I am up to next?



Hint: It's stiff!
